Wales-Denmark: the official compositions

The knockout phase of the Euro begins this Saturday, with the round of 16 Wales-Denmark – two teams that have never faced each other in a major tournament – at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam. For this decisive meeting, the Welsh coach Robert Page, in post since November 2020, returns to something more classic than what was glimpsed against Italy during the 3rd group day. Exit the defense at 5 and the offensive animation without a real 9, and In Ben Davies, Chris Mepham and Kieffer Moore. Ethan Ampadu is suspended after his direct red received against Squadra Azzura.

Opposite the Danish coach Kasper Hjulmand changes little a team which crushed Russia last Monday (4-1). The nugget of Sampdoria Mikkel Damsgaard accompanies the worker Martin Braithwaite in front, but Kasper Dolberg replaces Yussuf Poulsen at the forefront, Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg and Thomas Delaney form a double-pivot surrounded by Jens Stryger Larsen on the right and Joakim Maehle on the left, finally the defensive trident remains Simon Kjaer-Andreas Christensen-Jannik Vestergaard. Hit in the left leg during a duel with Russian striker Artem Dzyuba, the Danish captain observed an individualized training program to be ready today. Finally, Kasper Schmeichel is obviously in goal.

The essays :

Wales : Ward – Roberts, Rodon, Mepham, Davies – Morrell, Allen – Bale, Ramsey, James – Moore.

Denmark: Schmeichel – Christensen, Kjaer, Vestergaard – Stryger, Hojbjerg, Delaney, Maehle – Braithwaite, Dolberg, Damsgaard.
